1610D rear wheels swapped

[HaltCatchFire]

Just a bit of info for folks who may be wondering about dishing out the rears on this model. Before swapping wheels the lug-to-lug was 44", afterwards is 49". Very noticeable improvement just puttering around. The ride is smoother as well, which really contributes to the stable feel - before it wasn't so much the slopes that gave me the jibblies, it was every rut and molehill bucking the thing around on top of that :dance1:. Wider stance definitely calmed down the ride.

I remember that feeling of the jibblies that you are referring too when I first got my 2210d. After I put on the wheel spacers it made a huge difference, you can see the before and after pictures here. I never measured the distance before and after though, maybe I should have, but the ride was much better that was for sure. Now I have my turf kit on there which made a big difference too, lower to the ground and more surface contact as well as wider and is a nice ride as well.

Thanks for sharing your info HaltCatchFire

I'm definitely considering a turf kit myself - my property is all soft ground and the lugs eat it up fiercely especially with the loader. Kinda worried about traction on wet grass or soft dirt though, don't want to go sliding down a slope. You have the Hoye kit?

I do have the Hoye Turf Tire Kit on my 2210d. It doesn't tear up the grass and provides great traction, however I do have my tires filled with Rim Guard which adds a lot of ballast and provides better traction if that was your concern about turf tires. I have used mine in snow and in muddy areas and haven't had a problem yet.
